Testing new TeV-scale seesaw mediators at the LHC

We propose TeV-scale Dirac fermions producing Majorana masses of the known neutrinos via tree-level seesaw, different from standard type I and III seesaw. The employed weak five-plet with nonzero hypercharge leads to new seesaw formula m_\nu ~ v^6/M^5 and to empirical masses m_\nu ~ 10^{;-1}; eV for M ~ TeV new states. For a limited range of the parameter space, where M < a few 100 GeV, the proposed mechanism is testable at the LHC via characteristic decays of Dirac type heavy leptons, produced by a Drell-Yan fusion.
